2 Satisfactory installs were found, but all of them point to folders that don't exist.

Hey everyone, I'm getting this error when trying to use [Modding Tool Name]:

"2 Satisfactory installs were found, but all of them point to folders that don't exist.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Satisfactory"
"c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Satisfactory"
Seems wrong?"

I've verified my Satisfactory installation, and it's actually located at [Actual Satisfactory Installation Path].

Here's some additional info:

  • Satisfactory Version: [Your Satisfactory Version]
  • Operating System: [Your Operating System]
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

You cant play with mods on 1.0 yet!

If you're trying to launch the game without mods:

1.0 has renamed the game target, preventing SMM from being able to automatically uninstall mods for you.
  1. To manually turn off mods, delete the FactoryGame/Mods folder from your game install directory manually. Here's how to find the game install directory: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_GameInstall
  2. Even after you do this, SMM still won't work, and you will still get the "folder that does not exist" error message! You have to launch the game from Epic/Steam for now. Close SMM and don't use it again until we announce that mods are updated.
  3. If you have issues launching the game after this, also delete the FactoryGame/Plugins folder, then verify your game files to restore it: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_how_do_i_verify_my_game_files
  4. If you're still having issues, post the next error you get!
